Escalation in northwestern Syria
The northwestern region of Syria has experienced significant military escalation by regime forces over the past few weeks, marked by intensified artillery and rocket shelling that has resulted in numerous civilian casualties.
On September 29, regime forces targeted the city of Sarmin in eastern Idlib with heavy artillery, leading to civilian deaths and injuries. Additionally, residential neighborhoods in the town of Kefraya, east of Idlib, were hit by artillery and rockets, resulting in the deaths of six civilians, including two women and an elderly man, and injuring 11 others, among them five children and two women.
In the last 24 hours, Russian warplanes conducted approximately 50 airstrikes across the Idlib, Lattakia, and Hama countrysides, injuring several civilians and damaging a power station, rendering it inoperative.
